A MOORABBIN brewery has been served a double at major beers awards this month.
The 2 Brothers Brewery won two major Australian International Beer Awards taking out the gong for Best Australian Style Pale Ale for its Pay Day ale and Best Reduced or low alcohol beer for draught beer Happiness.
The brewery was founded in 2007 by brothers Andrew and David Ong.
“The AIBA awards are one of the toughest competitions in the country, so to receive such esteemed recognition from our peers is truly humbling,” Andrew One said.
The co-owner said the awards were reward for the hard work by the brewing team at Moorabbin.
More than 1800 beers were judged at the AIBA awards and 2 Brothers Brewery also lapped up a swag of gold, silver and bronze awards for its beverages in addition to the two top honours.
The brothers started the brewery after salvaging tanks from New York’s Times Square Brewery and shipping them to Melbourne. The brewery is celebrating its tenth anniversary of making high quality, natural craft beer this year.
The 2 Brothers Brewery produces about 2000 litres of beer each week, sold on tap at Melbourne bars and pubs.
The brewery’s beerhall at 4 Joyner St in Moorabbin can be visited on Thursdays 4-11pm, Fridays midday-midnight, Saturdays 12-5pm.
